Board Governance (Context)
- Governance and compensation policy disclosures in the proxy focus on Independent Board Members; Board Members are expected to invest at least the equivalent of one year of compensation in Nuveen funds to align interests with shareholders (Board Members only) . Officers are not covered by this Board Member investment expectation in the proxy .
Say-on-Pay & Shareholder Feedback
- Matters submitted to shareholders at the April 17, 2025 Annual Meeting focused on the election of Board Members for the Nuveen funds; no say-on-pay proposals were presented for officers .
Investment Implications
- Pay-for-performance analysis is constrained because NOM’s officers (including Nathaniel T. Jones) receive no compensation from the Fund and officer compensation structure at the Adviser is not disclosed in NOM’s proxy; thus, direct alignment between officer pay and NOM performance is not demonstrable from fund filings .
- Ownership alignment appears limited at the fund level for officers: Board Members and officers as a group held 0 NOM shares as of Dec 31, 2024, and group-level ownership across the Fund was <1% as of Feb 18, 2025, reducing signals from insider skin-in-the-game at NOM .
- Retention risk and incentive levers likely reside within Nuveen/TIAA employment structures (not disclosed in NOM filings); monitoring external disclosures from Nuveen/TIAA and Form 4 filings could improve visibility into vesting calendars, selling pressure, and compensation-linked trading signals. Current insider-trade retrieval was not available due to an authorization error and should be retried for a more complete assessment.
